Senators, I would like to acknowledge the presence in the Speaker's Gallery this afternoon of visiting delegation of members of staff from various counties undertaking the County Assembly's Legislation Tracker Training. The County Assembly Legislation Tracker is a platform where information on legislation passed or being considered by the county assemblies is uploaded. The platform will also provide a centralized online space where members of the public and the relevant stakeholders may access Bills, legislation being processed by specific county assemblies and promote openness, transparency and public involvement in the legislative process as required under Article 196 of the Constitution. It is envisaged that the Senate will utilize the system in accessing first-hand and synthesized information on Bills and Acts passed by the county assemblies in undertaking its oversight and legislative mandates. It is for this reason that the Senate, with the support from the Westminster Foundation of Democracy (WFD), engaged a consultant to develop an online legislative database that will bridge the gap on information on the trends in enactment of legislation by county assemblies. I request each member of staff represented to stand when their county is called out. The counties are- Meru County, Marsabit County, Tana River County, Taita Taveta County, Lamu County, Kilifi County, Garissa County, Kericho County, Kirinyaga County, Laikipia County, Tharaka-Nithi county, Turkana County, Uasin Gishu County, Nyeri County, West Pokot County, Murang'a County, Baringo County, Nyandarua County, Trans-Nzoia County, Elgeyo-Marakwet County, Bomet County, Nairobi City County and Nandi County."
